Working on it

Heyo! Its administrative assistants day and I’m an administrative (legal) assistant, so happy day to me!I just got taken to lunch by my boss’ and that was fun and fascinating. One hardcore Hillary, one hardcore Republican (I won’t say “hardcore McCain” because she’s not, but she is a hardcore republican) and me in the Obamiddle.

I decided last night, as I sat there fuming that a woman who says she’ll “obliterate” an entire group of people, that shows a completely fear-mongering campaign ad the night before the primary, that can’t wait to fight everyone she can, that I’m going to let go. That’s right; I’m going to let it go. This is the most fascinating thing I have ever experienced in my politically interested lifetime. I have never seen anything like this, no one has, a black man and a woman battling to the bloody death for a nomination and the democrats of this country split right smack dab down the middle (well not really down the middle, I mean…one of them is winning…ahem), but this is just craziness and I’m going to sit back and watch it happen for the next few months.

And just to be clear again, because I feel REALLY strongly about this, girl needs to keep on keepin’ on. She can’t stop now, definitely not. There are a lot of people left to vote, and they should vote. It’s a close race, and I definitely don’t think she should drop out.

So yeah, here’s what I hope…I hope Obama gets his legs back, more importantly, I hope he gets his wit back, his smile, his charm, his humor…he seems tired, so so tired, so done with it all. I want him to stay on top, don’t bow down to going dirty, he has a few more races left, stick with the plan, don’t attack, but smile that most excellent fucking smile of his and keep.on.going.

I don’t know what I want her to do, but I will say, last night after her victory speech, she dropped her pen while signing an autograph, and she bent down and picked up the pen. And in some way, that really impressed me, it really did. I’m sure there are a million people to pick up her dropped pens, but she bent over, stuck her butt in the air and picked it up. I felt oddly connected to her, I hate bending over to pick up stuff…its embarrassing, and she just…did it!

Oh wait, there is one thing I want her to do, get her own campaign slogan "yes we will" doesn't count. Get your own. Hurumph.

So. I don’t know. I’m going to watch with a smile on my face. I’m not going to read bullshit about either one of them, or spout bullshit about either one of them, and I’m going to keep on supporting and I’m going to stop “fighting” about it too (after this post of course), because it’s not going to get me anywhere.
